Boost Reference Lines for LS6 Intake
Boost Reference Lines for LS6 Intake Hey fellas, I've been searching the forums and haven't really found any specific answers to the questions I'm looking for so I'm starting a definitive thread on the topic. I'm about to run boost lines for my waste gate and blow off valve but have some questions. The car is a 2002 Camaro SS with a M6 utilizing a LS6 intake.
What kind of lines are you guys using? (Hard plastic, rubber hose, silicone hose, braided hose?)
If running hard line lines how do you tap into the LS6 intake? (Drilling, epoxy?)
What boost pressure dictates what type of line to use?
What size line should be used? (1/4", 5/16", 3/8")
Where are you referencing boost for the Waste gate?
Where are you referencing boost for the BOV?
Can you run a tee fitting and run the W/G and BOV together?
Any info would be greatly appreciated and any pictures would also be good since they're worth a thousand words lol.

That looks killer but how did he tie into the plastic intake with the hard plastic line? I'd like to do that but don't want to ruin the resale value of my LS6 intake by drilling or using epoxy. Do you know where he got those fittings and hose and who makes it? Thanks.
Ah! Nice suggestion. So tee into the booster line, with a tee adapter to use the hard plastic line. So where do you buy the hard plastic line Scotty? I've been looking but everything I find has a low operation temp and the last thing I need is those lines melting lol. It's either that or silicone hose and hose clamps but I really prefer the look of the hard lines. Do I have to use a manifold or can I just tee in and run straight to the W/G and BOV? Thanks for the input guys!
I used hard plastic line when I did my car. I forget the size. I brought it at truck dealership. (Tractor trailer) the lines/fittings are what trucks use for the air ride systems it's super tuff for cracking and bending and holds up well with heat.

Excellent! I actually found the same line on eBay. It has a temperature rating of 250'F. If that's what you boys are running without issue then it'll work for me for certain. How did you tie it into engine vacuum? Via the brake booster line? I'm trying to find a tee they'll tie into the brake booster and use the hard line. Thanks for the input!
